Im completely refinishing a set of Work VSXX's. 17x8 +47 and 17x9 +47. Finish was originally OEM gold, which was pitted and chipped a bit. Lips were in AWFUL condition with some curbage. Removed all of the curb rash (well, about 95%), polished all of the lips which was a total PITA because 1/2 the lips on every wheel had an anodized clear coat on them. It was odd though, because the clear was only on the flat portion on the lip, and as soon as it turned away, it was just bare metal.
Anywho, hope y'all like. Ill post more pics once finished.

That pic actually isn't true to the color whatsoever. The color is basically a high-metallic medium gunmetal. Just a shade darker than the OEM CR wheel color. Not sure why my camera gave it that goldish color.
